Love the color what are your plans on this?

well this is my first classic so im really just learning about it inside and out for now. Im planning on making this baby a cruiser. The interior needs a lotta love and im thinking black would look nice with that orange paint I bought some autometer traditional chrome gauges to replace the stock gauges that im working on getting in there right now. Ive allways liked those wood panel beds so when i get some cash ill slap one in there..right now its just a sheet of plywood ha ha. ive got some 15x8 slot mags that im polishing up for it right now so those will be on there soon. its got a 350 and th400 in it and im really happy with that set up. im thinking some day ill beef it up to a 383 > but its my daily driver so im really just gonna polish it up inside and out for now.

The seats on my interior cost me 100 dollars flat ..black leather it was ugly cloth before. Thing is i live in south texas..way south so i live right on the border. Everyything is cheaper in mexico

So its been a while since ive posted pics of my truck up and im happy to say im making good progress on it. Ill be getting my slot  mags put on in the next few weeks. I just bought a mothers polishing ball and some mag polishing compound to get em all spiffy looking. My new autometers and black bezel look so much better than the cracked plastic lenses and broken stock gauges that were in my truck when I got it. I also got around to cleaning up the interior a bit. I took the heater unit off the firewall an pulled it apart and clened it all out. I found some pretty interesting stuff in there. Drill bits, fishing weights, rocks . I painted all the corroded metal bits with some black POR15 so I dont get any more corrosion on it. I also fond some surface rust in my cab on the floorboards and behind the heater-a/c unit on the firewall so I sanded that down prepped it and painted it up with some POR15 also. I found some pretty good insulation that i lined the cab with from the firewall to behind the seat. The ammount of sound dampening it provided amazes me. Knocking on the floor boards went from a PiNg!! ClAnK!! to a thud sound. I replaced just about everything in the lighting system...Hella H4 headlights, relay kit, headlamp switch, dimmer switch. now the lighting systems working like a charm. Ill post some pics up as soon as my new stearing wheel gets here and I install it. Hope u like what u see
